Peer Tutoring
Peer tutoring can help you understand the subject, increase confidence and develop important learning strategies.
Our tutors are trained with internationally recognized best practices and standards in supporting students in their learning. Our tutoring program is certified through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). Our tutoring services are offered free of charge.
Types of Peer Tutoring
Appointment-Based Tutoring (Online & On-Campus)
Appointment-based tutoring is a one-on-one scheduled session focused on your questions. Tutors can help you understand your course materials, prepare for exams, help with learning strategies, and answer your questions.
Drop-In Tutoring (On-Campus)
Drop-in tutoring does not require an appointment and is in a casual setting that also allows for independent studying. Tutors are available to help you understand your course materials, prepare for exams, help with learning strategies, and answer your questions.
Tutor Led Exam Review Sessions
Experienced tutors lead exam review sessions throughout the semester for various on-campus courses.
Online Tutoring via Smarthinking
Students are given 5 hours of tutoring per academic year in Smarthinking.
What to Expect from Your Tutor
Peer tutors will guide you in:
- increasing comprehension
- developing study and learning strategies
- receiving a one-on-one learning experience
- explaining concepts in multiple ways
With scheduled appointments, you will work directly with a tutor. With drop-in tutoring, you can expect tutors to be helping multiple students at once.
